@Freewayjim I actually contacted the MDOT for a printout on a MI old map. They told me they do not keep copies old road maps. I found that hard to believe.. Seems like there is website like mapquest where you can enter in year and state to bring up that road for that year. Thanks
Good idea, the comparison between the road maps in past years and in present time, I find it extremely interesting! And of course, bravo! for the quality of the video end the excellent editing :-)
BTW, I searched the internet over and over, but still can't understand if there is a specific software to superimpose the road signs to the video... Will you share your secret with me? :-P
@Numenor65 Thank you for the compliments! No secrets, lol, the video software handles the sign graphics the same way it does photos and the map scans, it will import most photo/graphic file types (JPG, PNG, TIF and so on). Most video software packages that I know of have this capability, which is a basic function for the most part, the only ones that don't are usually very cheap or free!
Haha! I totally forgot about this song; good choice. As far as I-75 itself, I can't even recognize the reconstructed portion that leads to the Ambassador Bridge. Great stuff by MDOT. Well, it's time for me to sleep, since it's 2:42 a.m. here, but I'll be sure to give this a "thumbs up" before I sign off.
thank for comming Jim,our state has make great improvements of our freeways and clearview signs,and another bridge might be connected to i-75 as well in the future
@fgjr96way Thanks, I enjoyed my couple hours there. We ate dinner shortly after this video ended and filled up the tank so I was glad to drop a few $ in the local economy.
Where did you find a Michigan 1960 road map?

2:45 reminds me of I-10 in New Orleans east crossing the Industrial Canal.
